SANFORD — Police arrested two men Tuesday and charged them with abducting and raping a woman in Seminole County earlier this month.

Robert C. Buroker, 38, of Colorado, and Stormy Faddis, 23, who escaped from Cocoa Correctional Center in Sharpes in September, were arrested after leading police on a chase from a Winter Park motel to Seminole County.

Officers had been watching the motel since a Winter Park police officer found a stolen van Monday night while checking vehicles' license tags. Officers followed the suspects when they drove away in the van Tuesday.

Seminole County has charged the two men with grand theft of a vehicle, kidnapping, sexual battery, use of a firearm in committing a felony and burglary.

Seminole County Sheriff's Department John Spolski said more charges are being prepared by Winter Park, Altamonte Springs, Orange County and Daytona Beach. Faddis was serving 10 years sentence for burglary.

The woman told police two men abducted her Nov. 10 in Fern Park as she left work. She said she was taken to an Altamonte Springs motel and raped. The next day the men took her to Daytona Beach, where she escaped.
